Beats Electronics is one of the most overpriced gadgets. The Headphones and speakers from Beats will definitely deliver high-quality sound and the Beats Audio for laptops & mobile phones will also deliver Cristal clear audio quality. In this Article, I'll talk only about the mobile phones and Laptops which is equipped with the Overpriced gimmick "Beats Audio".

In 2011, HP began to offer personal computers equipped with Beats Audio systems. Then HTC started releasing smartphones with the Beats Audio, beginning with the HTC Sensation XE/XL with Beats Audio in September 2011. Now all newer HTC phones, such as the Incredible 4G, Rezound, Evo 4G LTE, One series, and 8X also includes Beats Audio.

The Beats Audio in these gadgets is just a software equalizer with a preset. Equalizer is a software which adjusts the amplitude of audio signals at particular frequencies. This is where the Beats Audio's gimmick is.

If you have a phone you might has probably seen an equalizer with various Presets like Bass Boost, Treble Boost, Heavy, Pop, Jazz, classical, etc. These presets are obtained just by varying the audio signals at different frequencies.

The Beats Audio basically has 2 Modes - Beats Audio ON and Beats Audio OFF. Beats Audio ON mode passes higher frequencies well but attenuates lower frequency components and Beats Audio OFF mode passes low-frequency components of signals while attenuating higher frequencies. So when Beats Audio is OFF the audio quality is pretty feeble because attenuation of higher frequencies while the beats Audio is ON, it exaggerates the higher frequencies.

When an average costumer listen some using some audio equipment with Beats audio ON and OFF, definitely feels lot of difference. This huge difference will make people to think that the Gadgets which has built-in Beats Audio is far better than the gadgets without Beats Audio.

The Headphones or Earphones which comes with the Beats Audio enabled gadgets will have their own equalizer which will also passes higher frequencies well but attenuates lower frequency components. When two Higher frequencies pair up you will get much more higher frequencies i.e, much more powerful Audio quality.

But this tech is overpriced, one can get the same or even better audio quality in much lesser prices. Sony's New equalizer ClearAudio+ will deliver studio quality sound which is pretty impressive. There are lot of alternatives for Beats by Dr. Dre and they are worth buying.

If you are thinking to buy a laptop or mobile phones just because it has Beats Audio then you are definitely thinking to get into a trap. Check out for other companies products also before getting into this trap. Don't have Beats Audio as the basic criteria, just look at your needs and get a good gadget.
